Quotes
- “The whole idea of interviews is in itself absurd – one cannot answer deep questions about what one's life was like – one writes novels about it.”
- “Parents – especially step-parents – are sometimes a bit of a disappointment to their children. They don't fufill the promise of their early years.”
- “He fell in love with himself at first sight and it is a passion to which he has always remained faithful.”
- “Self-love seems so often unrequited.”
- “[T]here is no greater sign of innate misery than a love of teasing.”
- “Growing old's like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.”
